Sean Owen commented on SPARK-26973:
-----------------------------------
I think I'd suggest testing against one version or else this could get
complicated fast. The latest version we support is a good place to start. How
about that until something tells us we miss too many big problems without more
tests?
> Kubernetes version support strategy on test nodes / backend
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-26973
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-26973
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Test
> Components: Kubernetes
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Stavros Kontopoulos
> Priority: Major
>
> Kubernetes has a policy for supporting three minor releases and the current
> ones are defined here:
> [https://github.com/kubernetes/sig-release/blob/master/releases/patch-releases.md.|https://github.com/kubernetes/sig-release/blob/master/releases/patch-releases.md]
> Moving from release 1.x to 1.(x+1) happens roughly every 100
> days:[https://gravitational.com/blog/kubernetes-release-cycle.]
> This has an effect on dependencies upgrade at the Spark on K8s backend and
> the version of Minikube required to be supported for testing. One other issue
> is what the users actually want at the given time of a release. Some popular
> vendors like EKS([https://aws.amazon.com/eks/faqs/]) have their own roadmap
> for releases and may not catch up fast (what is our view on this).
> Follow the comments for a recent discussion on the topic:
> [https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/23814.]
> Clearly we need a strategy for this.
> A couple of options for the current state of things:
> a) Support only the last two versions, but that leaves out a version that
> still receives patches.
> b) Support only the latest, which makes testing easier, but leaves out other
> currently maintained version.
> A good strategy will optimize at least the following:
> 1) percentage of users satisfied at release time.
> 2) how long it takes to support the latest K8s version
> 3) testing requirements eg. minikube versions used
>
